How to Make A Very Special Pot Roast For The Crock Pot
- Trim excess fat from a 3-4 lb beef chuck roast and cut into 2-3 inch pieces if necessary to fit your slow cooker.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pot roast pieces on all sides, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roughly chop 1 cup of dried apples, 1/2 cup dried peaches, 1/2 cup dried pears, and 1/2 cup dried plums.
- Place the chopped dried fruit in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Add 1 large onion, cut into wedges, on top of the fruit.
- Place the browned pot roast pieces on top of the fruit and onion.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of allspice over the meat.
- Pour 1 cup of apple juice into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
